I just purchased a 2013 FZ6R. I was getting some wind so I changed tothe factory upgraded Yamaha windscreen. Still not happy. Aroung 70, I start to get helmet vibration. Just ordered to Zero Gravity Sport Touring windscreen. Should this be a big change or solve my problem? Any input or experience with the zero gravity sport touring would help. Thank you.

should help a little bit. It might also come down to the aerodynamics of your helm as well. If your helm is race designed (shoei x12, ect) your going to get vibs because your not in the body position the helm is designed for aerodynamically.
seems as though the fg-jet has more upright than the is33, it could be the helm. How tall are you?
You may need a really tall windscreen. Most likely getting hit in the helmet with the air, and that is causing turbulence.
I didn't do this on my FZ6R and I should have, did it on my FZ1, and it makes it a much nicer ride:
A double bubble might help....I had vibration on the stock switched to puig racing ...1000 times better, went to marthy touring and the vibration came back...next step is a puig touring tthats on its way now..

Yeah, gonna do the same. I get hit in the chest with the deflected air. Looks better too, especially blacked out.

Like others have said, you may have to tuck in a bit. I have a Puig racing windscreen and I can ride pretty upright up till aroun 70-80ish. Any faster than that and I have to tuck in a bit to avoid wind. During the summer or days when its not windy, I've been good up till upper 80's. Feels good

I have a zero gravit double bubble and it makes a world of difference over the stock shield.

I saw the ZG Touring shields and was wondering about them. Look forward to your write up when you get it.
I am 6'4 and have gotten used to the wind at the Yamaha Dbl Bubble screen. In fact I find it pretty comfortable. I am interested now I think in the touring screens so that I dont take tiny little pebbles or bugs to the neck as much. Seems like everyday I feel myself getting hit in the neck. - kinda stings!

I should also note that I have been looking for touring screens since i bought the bike a year ago...they are TOUGH to find!
Tried the Zero Gravity Sport Touring windscreen out tonight. What a difference over the stock one and the Yamaha upgraded one. Can ride very comfortably now over 70. Before when I hit 68, I started getting buffeting. All gone now at 70. Took it to 80, then 85. Nice and smooth wind flow, no buffeting. Would recommend.
Where did you get it... pics on the bike?
